David, the Warder

This be the costume of my faithful Warder David!

For Supanova this year, David ~Jhovozhymeh and I dressed as White Tower folks from Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series. I was a Brown Ajah Aes Sedai (magic lady) and he was my Warder (big hairy swordsman). This is him slightly sweaty before we went to the con. I'm sorry about the background; I forgot to snap one against the clean tiles of the train station below!

It Used:
<3m Ivory Cotton Lining
<1m suede from an old singlet
<2m suede from an old skirt
His black trousers and shoes
4.75m of that cloak material (taffeta?)
3m leather thonging
1 clasp
His belt
3m red ribbon, 1m white
Thread

I'll be posting images of my dress and shawl shortly - my feet have to heal, and I've a new job!
